  2. As you write this, I bet a lot of Brit’s have heard a few calls to prayer already today

  3. Every time Trance opens its mouth, both my ears are going to bleed.

  4. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.theweek.in/news/world/2024/07/17/racist-ignorance-brits-clap-back-after-trump-vp-pick-jd-vance-calls-uk-a-truly-islamist-country.html) reduced by 67%. (I’m a bot)

    > Speaking at a conference for UK Conservatives last week, Vance said he was discussing with a friend which country would be the first "Truly Islamist country with nuclear weapons", and answered that, "Maybe it's Iran, maybe Pakistan kind of counts, and then we sort of decided maybe it's actually the UK since Labour just took over".

    > Shadow Veterans Minister Andrew Bowie told Times Radio that he "Absolutely" disagreed with Vance's claim, adding that it's "Actually quite offensive, frankly, to my colleagues in the Labour party." Shadow minister posts are positions held by the Opposition party members in the UK Parliament.

    > Canterbury Labour MP Rosie Duffield called Vance's remarks as "Pretty ignorant, racist and Islamophobic".

  5. Religion is not a race. Criticising religion and it’s growing influence on politics is not racist. He’s obviously exaggerating but he is alluding to a very problematic issue for the west. But also ironic given Christianity has way too much influence in US politics already.

  6. Every time Vance chats, it’s like reality TV, can’t believe it’s genuine. Somebody might wanna remind him the UK ain’t the Middle East

  7. I’d worry a lot more about US becoming a “christian” theocracy, that’s a lot closer to actually becoming a reality.

  8. STOP RUINING OUR ALLIANCES WITH THESE OTHER NATIONS REPUBLICANS WHAT THE FUCK!

  11. It’s a bit ironic that leftists love to criticse conservative right-wing Christians and how they influence American culture and politics. But they’re totally unwilling to talk about conservative Islam and how it is starting to influence Western countries including the UK, it’s a rapidly growing minority group (around 6% of the population and 10% of young people) and several UK cities will become Muslim majority by the end of the century on current trajectories.

  12. Is this guy that dumb or just using one of the 5 things right wing yanks lose their shit over the mere mention of?

  13. Aside from being misquoted, that statement, while hyperbolic, is not far out of touch with reality. Islamic extremism has been a growing concern in the UK and Western Europe for several years now. While the UK is not an islamist country, there are legitimate concerns and a number of people have been threatened. It’s not racist to identify a real issue.

  14. Lol… Vance is off to a great start isn’t he? These next 4 years will be a fucking circus.

  15. Yet Pakistan doesn’t get a mention. They have had nuclear weapons for decades

  16. Anyone fooled by this is the byproduct of a lack of education. The UK being Islamist… Give me a break.

  18. Europe isn’t pleased with the Hillbilly Felony ticket?

  19. JD Vance… dude even has the name of a bad cyberpunk movie

  20. Baffling how so many people seem to think Islam is a “race.”

  21. American conservative and likely Russian asset let’s shit spew from mouth, also water is wet and the sky is blue.

  22. For a non-American, please provide insight. Are people like trump and Vance representatives of all Americans? Is America really as horrible and hate filled as these clowns make it seem? How could anyone vote for such slime bags? Or is this clown show just entertainment for the less educated in your population? And where are the intellectuals and courageous politicians while this is happening?

  23. Russia is also a truly Islamist country since it also has Muslim conclaves.

  25. As a Canadian I think we must all worry about the rhetoric coming from the states and do all we can to keep Polievre and his ilk at bay. Europe and the UK are experiencing this now well be next.

  26. His whole existence is a finger in the eye of decency.

  28. To a Christo-fundamentalist anywhere that even vaguely accepts religious freedoms looks like an islamist country.

  29. America really need to sort their shit out. Scary to think people vote for these moronic dick heads.

  31. the guy is out of line but, amongst a lot of issues currently in the uk, definitely more radical islam elements mainly from immigrants not wanting to respect/assimilate into western culture are definitely a problem. mainly ones from war torn countries that bring that ideology over and refuse to change. according to a study 1/3 of UK muslims want sharia (law) in their country, while 46% of them sympathise with hamas, with 25% of them saying they didnt kill nor r*pe. in fact they very recently just moved to ban muslims from entering the UK from specific countries.

  32. To deny there isn’t a massive cultural clash looming in the UK around this is just ignorance, look at London now.

  33. Trump picked a running mate he could feel superior to in almost every way: hillbilly, 5’7”, ex-enlisted, Ohio state, brown wife, Catholic convert and complete bootlicker. And a cesspool of a human being
